30,000 American soldiers died while Nixon figured out how to lose Vietnam over 4 years

[NNN0LHI]

And we got the exact same deal after 4 years that we could have got at the beginning. I heard Tweety mention this last night. I didn't realize the number was so high. Nixon had a "secret" plan to get us out of Vietnam. He even won an election with his "secret" plan.

1. I have a good friend

...he was a Marine in Vietnam. Did two tours.
And to this day hates Nixon with all his soul for the reasons you cite.
Well said.

4. Exactly.

Odd how members of the elite who profit from war are the ones so eager to send others to die for no real reason.

5. I think Nixon called it

peace with honor!

How do such scum manage to rise to power and even gain voter support??!!

6. Nixon's Treason, I think is what this has been called...

yet the moronic R's and neo-cons thought that war was 'winnable' too, despite DoD studies (Pentagon Papers etc.) showing otherwise.

Sy Hersh's book Price of Power shows Nixon and Dr K calling troops cannonfodder.
